Biography

Hallström est né à Stockholm en Suède. Son père était dentiste à Stockholm mais aussi réalisateur amateur, sa mère Karin Lyberg (1907–2000) était écrivain. Son grand-père maternel Ernst Lyberg était le ministre des finances du gouvernement de Carl Gustaf Ekman (1926–1928) et le leader du Parti capitaliste suédois (Kapitalism Party öf Sverige).

Après quelques réalisations pour la télévision dont un documentaire remarqué sur le célèbre groupe ABBA, puis un premier long métrage en 1975, A Guy and a Gal (En kille och en tjej), Lars Sven Hallström dit "Lasse Hallström" acquiert une notoriété internationale avec Ma vie de chien (Mitt liv som hund) en 1985.

Le film qui raconte l'histoire d'un petit garçon délaissé par sa mère malade, à l'aube de son adolescence, obtient plusieurs prix et est sélectionné aux Oscars.

Homer Wells, an orphan, grows up in a Maine orphanage directed by kindly, avuncular Dr. Wilbur Larch. Homer is returned twice by foster parents; his first foster parents thought he was too quiet and the second parents beat him. Dr. Larch is addicted to ether and is also secretly an abortionist. Conditions at the orphanage are very spartan, but the children are treated with love and respect, and they are like an extended family. Each night before they go to sleep, Dr. Larch says, "Goodnight you princes of Maine, you kings of New England!" as both encouragement and a kind of blessing.
